Whilst plans for the new coronation were taking place - the corruption that was embedded deep in the kingdom was peaking its head. A meeting, which held only the intention of exploiting the loop hole founding in the King and Queen. Inside the dusty library of the castle, which had rows of bookshelves around the walls - even the door itself was a bookshelf. It had been especially designed with a red carpet, and gold thrones to suit the needs of past royals - who had died years ago. After their deaths the library was only ever used to exploit the royals.

"Your Majesty, I'm aware of how much you love your daughter, but think of what's best for the kingdom!"

The Queen of Fyrelark, sits daintily on a seat, watching her nobles walk around the room in pure frustration. The Queen has so much faith in her daughters, and yet not one of these people can see the potential in her pride and joy. Mary Rain - one of the lead nobles was sitting across from her with such a patient composure while she took in every word the Queen said.

"What would she do wrong? Both of my daughters would be a perfect Queen," The Queen argued, although she was fully aware that these nobles, weren't paying attention. They were giving the impression they believed she had complete trust in someone who could easily turn a criminal in seconds.

The Queen herself knew the real reason they didn't want Kyra on the throne. The Queen knew the nobles could persuade herself and Fai into anything.

Kyra was different. She was independent, and none of the nobles could break her mental defences.

"She wouldn't do as well of a job as Fai, and you know it." A male noble had smiled as expected towards her before sitting on the edge of the table in the middle of the room. The Queen ...

...n pure innocence since she was born. Manipulation is such a tricky matter for a six year old.

"That was an accident." If it was the Queens last breath she'd still do what they said. Only because she couldn't bear her daughter being murdered. This was something she'd be hated for, but if it's for the safety of her daughters she'll do it. Even if one of her daughter's were just as evil as the nobles themselves.

"We shall leave you to the decision, but you are completely aware of what we nobles think. We are nobles for a reason. Good day, my lady." Mary Rain finished the argument - and she did it in such a way, that any passer by would see no corruption. It was funny to the Queen that none of them said it was purely her decision. It was theirs and it killed her. The future of her kingdom was in the hands of people that would bring it to rust from the very core - Fai.

    Deeply influenced by her time’s stereotypes of women, some of which she shared, Elizabeth I worked hard to avoid the mistakes of her female predecessors. Perceiving herself as a king at heart (Doc.12), Elizabeth distanced herself from what were thought to be the innate traits of women. Responding to the commonly held beliefs that women were dangerous and inequitable as rulers, yet weak and subservient by nature, Elizabeth strove to be a fair and loyal leader, played up her feminine traits for political gain, and refused to tolerate any form of dissent.

    Brian May and Roger Taylor, in 1970, set the wheels in motion for Queen when they decided to form a band during their college years. Queen started out as a band called Smile who signed with Mercury Records, and included: Tim Staffell, Brian May, and Roger Taylor. Once Tim Staffell left, the group added Freddie Mercury (lead singer) and bassist John Deacon. Freddie Mercury, Farrokh Bulsara, was a fan of Smile and was added on as the lead vocalist. John Deacon began as a young guitarist who was a member of the group called The Opposition. This band was composed of a group of friends, and they were influenced by groups such as The Hollies and Herman’s Hermits. Eventually, Deacon was added to the group that already included Mercury, Taylor, and May. Over time, the group changed their name to Queen. The name Queen was selected by Mercury, and this name is symbolic of power and regality. The addition of Mercury proved to be an essential aspect to the history of Queen’s success. In Queen: The Early Years, Hodkinson writes, “much of what made Freddie also defined Queen: without him they were merely a model rock band with a bent for a commercial tune” (2). The group became well known for their theatrical performances and costumes that were often over the top. “From their international breakthrough in 1976, Queen continually remained one of the best-selling rock acts worldwide beyond Mercury's death in 1991. Their total record sales are estimated at up to 300 million records” (Desler 391). This group was important to the evolution of music and music performance in bands that were to follow them.

That was particulary so during 16th and 17th century Europe, which was the time of rule by Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland and Queen Elizabeth I. Both queens brought forth a time of political and religious change to the United Kingdom, which aided in the increase and influence of each family’s powers atop the English, Scottish and French throne. Though both women were of the same Tudor family, they were drastically different in their attitudes towards their ruling their countries.

    Much like her remark of fatality her speech holds other moments of foreshadowing and hints at her true wants. “…fill me from the crown to the toe…” (1.5.48) not only represents her wish to hold the cruelty needed but also references the very crown that they are trying to steal from Duncan. Her language turns to defining the type of person, or man in this case, she wishes to be in order to take what she requires. A lack of remorse, to make thick her blood or otherwise harden her very heart. She asks for her very own nature to be changed, humans own turn to guilt must not happen to her. Whatever it is that must be done can not be regretted or second thought. Her own mind must not stand in her way, by adjusting herself, by summoning the very

  • The Other Boleyn Girl

    1806 Words  | 4 Pages

    The two adaptations after the controversial novel “The Other Boleyn Girl” by Philippa Gregory present a historical fictional story of the Boleyn sisters, Anne and Mary. This is a ravishing, emotionally intense story of love, loyalty and betrayal in the chase for power and social position, portraying the human desires and flaws in a beautifully described historical background at the English court. The private life of the historical figures from the XVIth century and the intrigues hidden behind the official documents is quite an ambiguous, curiously challenging segment of time, from the historical point of view. The book, and the two film adaptations after – “The Other Boleyn Girl” explore the uncertain times in the life of Henry the VIIIth, before deciding to divorce Katherine of Aragorn, remarry Anne Boleyn and start the Church of England.
